NY bus bully incident, Karen Klien and restorative justice
from Kris Miner's post in Restorative Justice and Circles:
The bus monitor bullied by middle school boys. It’s been in the media and ironically, I first heard of the incident in Circle Training. Karen Klien recently offered that she would like to talk to them to ask them why.
The natural course of this has some restorative elements. The victim didn’t think the apology letters were sincere. It was the 4th student who did an apology face to face that helped Karen.

Party's over for bonfire vandals
from Jonathan Dodd's article in Advertiser.co.uk:
TEENAGERS who trashed a Chapel-en-le-Frith landmark were given an opportunity to make amends under a new 'common sense' approach to policing.
Earlier in the summer, up to 20 teenagers were caught at the top of Eccles Pike. They had been drinking and started a large bonfire on the National Trust-owned land, using wooden supports from around memorial trees to fuel the blaze.
But rather than resorting to court action, Derbyshire Constabulary was able to deal with the incident under its new Restorative Justice scheme.
